In a press release, it's described as "a punch-drunk memoir in which everyone's favorite Questlove tells his own story while tackling some of the lates, the greats, the fakes and the true originals of the music world." The book was written with New Yorker editor Ben Greenman.

The Roots frontman Black Thought is also writing a memoir. He tells Über Urban (via Nah Right) that he's been working with hip-hop writer Jeff Chang and filmmaker Maori Karmael Holmes on the book. He also tells Über Urban that he's at work on a solo album tentatively called The Talented Mr. Trotter. He describes it as a blues album, and he's tapping My Morning Jacket's Jim James, TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, and R&B singer Raheem DeVaughn for collaborations. "It's some stuff that I feel like I need to get out, aside from the new Roots record," he said.

Speaking of that new Roots record, it's tentatively titled & Then You Shoot Your Cousin, and due out later this year or early next year, according to Billboard. The band is also working with Elvis Costello on a full-length collaborative album. In an interview with NYU Local, ?uestlove said the collaboration began as a single track for Record Store Day and then blossomed into an album.
